Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Team Eyes EuroLeague Opener Amid Injury Recovery
Maccabi Tel Aviv secured their second Social Super Cup title on Thursday, defeating rivals in a prestigious derby match. However, three key players, Ousmane Dieng, Jalen Adams, and Daniel Theis, were sidelined due to injuries. Dieng sustained a knee injury during a preparation game against Aris Thessaloniki, Theis is recovering from a minor ankle sprain suffered while playing for Germany, and Adams is healing from a hamstring tear sustained during training camp.
The club is working diligently to have all three players fully fit for the upcoming EuroLeague season opener against ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne next week. Medical and coaching staff opted not to risk the players' health during the derby. All three players have resumed full training and are expected to be available for the next game.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is scheduled to travel to France on Wednesday for their first European league game of the season, where they will face ASVEL.
